We Got Soaked!!!

We enjoyed a lovely holiday at Knott's Soak City. Jayson could have played all day in the entrance plaza. He loved the rooster and chickens running around. The weather was just right for it. The boys were a little shy about going on the waterslides. When they finally braved up, they had to wait in line for one hour to get a three person tube. The lazy river was nice - too bad I was sharing my tube with a squirmy little girl. Her bum kept falling through the hole and then she'd get stuck.

Jayson is NOT water shy. He headed right up the yellow octopus slide. He didn't care that the slide was steep and quick. He even thought he was funny when he'd get to the top and then double back to go down a different arm of the octopus. I was totally stressed out when he'd do this because I was at the bottom of the slides catching him before he plunged into the water.

The kids liked the wave pool - simulated ocean without the salt. The shorter ones were required to wear life jackets. This didn't seem to bother Jayson. He actually liked floating on his back or leaning forward to blow bubbles.

Jacob let us borrow his camera - too bad his batteries were dead. Then we decided to buy a water cam, so Jon ran back to the car to stow the camera. The gift shop was sold out of water cameras, so later Jon went back to the car to retrieve the camera and to purchase batteries. So you better enjoy these low quality snaps of our family memories :)

P.S. We also walked through Independence Hall.
